Isn't this a waste of the cars time, when, as it has wheels it should be out and about, maybe checking places such as the mental parking on Tunstall roundabout. Wouldn't a fixed camera be better here, or revert to how it used to be, a better thought out road layout is genuinely needed here?

One of the problems with shopping at Hanley is it can be a pain in the ass if you're coming from the D Road to get to the Potteries Car Park. We know the routes, but look at it from someone who comes from outside the area.

The law is the law, and no parking on double yellow lines is legal unless a parking restriction exemption has been issued, such as if works in the road is taking place. The police are there to uphold;d the laws of the land and not to flout them, and I will say the council will not be able to park any vehicle on double yellow lines without the above permit which is issued for that particular part of the street and within a dated period. It is not a recurring permit that can be used willy nilly and has to be applied for in advance and has a limited time and date validity. These clown are breaking the law, and I do not believe that that the use of a vehicle for so called stealth usage and for the purpose of catching out traffic offences warrants an emergency situation, which under these rules the Police are allowed to park on double yellow lines to perform their investigations and duties. A Police car is not allowed to park on double yellow lines, just in the hope of catching a random law breaker to which they have no intelligence about. There-fore I conclude that this council 'spy vehicle' is breaking the law and should be reported to the council and have their hands slapped and told not to do it again. ( Grrr I am so angry )
